Similar letters denote similar parts in each figure.

A represents a plate of malleable or wrought iron, being jointed or pivoted at the point 0 with the hook B, and at E with the hames, or to a cultivator or plow-beam, as the case may be, which makes it a universal joint, and does away with all strain on the hook, hames, or beam, in any direction the draft may be.

The plate A is made of the form of a circle on the end or side upon which the hook B turns, while the end of the hook is made just is a secand the notch, the ring may be admitted and held secure.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the following device, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified:

The hook B, pivoted to the plate A, having the circular end F, and the notch D.
